CHOICE  OF  A  MEDICAL  SCHOOL 


For  the  student  who  has  decided  to  study  medicine  the  first 
and  most  important  step  is  the  selection  of  a  medical  school : 
a  false  step  here  may  handicap  him  for  life. 

Before  choosing  a  medical  school  the  student  should  obtain 
information  in  regard  to  its  requirements  of  preliminary 
education;  the  character  of  its  teaching;  its  classification;  the 
tuition  fees  charged  and — most  important — whether  or  not 
its  diplomas  are  recognized  by  all  state  medical  boards. 

ADEQUATE  ENTRANCE  QUALIFICATIONS 

The  student  should  make  sure  that  his  preliminary  educa¬ 
tion  is  sufficient  to  meet  the  requirements  of  the  state  licensing 
boards  of  the  country.  He  should  know  that  at  the  present 
time  thirty-eight 1  state  licensing  boards  (73  per  cent.)  require 
that  before  beginning  the  study  of  medicine  the  student  must 
have  completed  two  years  of  work  in  an  approved  college  of 
liberal  arts,  in  addition  to  a  four-year  high  school  education.2 
Although  he  may  not  at  first  seek  a  license  in  one  of  these 
thirty-five  states,  he  may  later  miss  a  great  opportunity  by 
being  thus  debarred.  He  should  know  also  that  all  the  better 
medical  colleges  now  require  this  higher  preliminary  educa¬ 
tion,  since — most  important  of  all — the  student  needs  it  to 
understand  and  master  the  difficult  and  complex  subjects  of 
the  modern  medical  college  course.  Lower  entrance  require¬ 
ments  by  any  medical  college,  therefore,  should  be  regarded 
as  an  indication  that  the  medical  training  furnished  will  be 
correspondingly  low. 

BETTER  MEDICAL  TRAINING  ESSENTIAL 

Medicine  is  now  based  on  scientific  knowledge,  without  which 
any  physician  will  be  seriously  handicapped.  Adequate  instruc¬ 
tion  in  the  recognition,  treatment  and  prevention  of  diseases 
can  be  given  only  in  acceptable  (Class  A)  medical  schools, 
which  have  expert  teachers,  well-equipped  laboratories,  and 
dispensaries  and  hospitals  where  the  student  at  the  bedside  can 
study  patients  having  all  varieties  of  sickness  and  injuries. 

IS  THE  MEDICAL  COLLEGE  RECOGNIZED? 

Formerly  a  course  in  almost  any  medical  college  furnished 
an  adequate  qualification  for  the  license  to  practice  medicine 
in  all  states.  At  present,  however,  state  licensing  boards  are 
refusing  to  recognize  medical  colleges  which  are  deemed  not 
properly  equipped  to  furnish  a  training  in  modern  medicine. 
The  student  should  know  that  the  diplomas  granted  by  some 

1.  These  states  are  listed  on  page  22. 

2.  The  courses  required  and  recommended  in  the  high  school  and  two- 
year  premedical  college  courses  are  set  forth  on  pages  4-7. 


2 


medical  schools  are  not  recognized  in  as  high  as  from  40  to  46 
states.3  A  diploma  from  one  of  these  medical  colleges,  there¬ 
fore,  would  not  qualify  him  to  practice  medicine  in  any  of 
those  states.  The  student  must  make  sure,  not  only  that  he 
has  adequate  preliminary  education,  but  also  that  he  has 
secured  his  medical  training  in  a  college  recognized  in  all 
states 

CONSIDER  CAREFULLY  THE  COST 

The  student,  of  course,  is  bound  to  consider  the  expense 
of  his  medical  training,  and  herein  lies  the  bait  by  which 
some  inferior  colleges  which  profess  deep  interest  in  “the 
poor  boy”  endeavor  to  attract  students.  If  the  training  is  not 
thorough  and  up  to  date,  the  student  should  know  that  the 
training  furnished  will  be  a  mighty  poor  investment  at  any 
price.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  and  as  may  be  noted  in  Table  1, 
(opp.  p.  23),  the  total  fees  charged  by  some  of  the  best 
(Class  A)  medical  colleges,  particularly  the  medical  depart¬ 
ments  of  some  state  universities,  are  lower  than  those  charged 
by  some  of  the  poorly  equipped  (Class  C)  institutions  which 
are  not  recognized  by  the  majority  of  state  licensing  boards. 

In  the  same  length  of  time,  therefore,  and  often  for  even 
lower  fees  than  he  would  pay  in  a  poorly  equipped  institution, 
the  student  may  acquire  his  education  in  one  of  the  best  med¬ 
ical  colleges  of  the  land.  Although  some  of  the  better  schools 
do  charge  higher  fees,  they  spend  on  each  student  per  year 
several  times  the  amount  of  money  that  the  student  pays  for 
tuition.  This  they  are  able  to  do  because  of  their  larger 
incomes  from  endowments  or  state  aid.  It  would  be  poor 
economy,  therefore,  for  a  student  to  enter  a  low-grade  college 
whose  diplomas  are  not  recognized  in  the  majority  of  states, 
when  for  a  few  additional  dollars  each  year  he  can  enter  a 
thoroughly  equipped  institution,  receive  a  far  better  medical 
training  and  obtain  a  diploma  recognized  everywhere.  Even 
if  one  should  be  required  to  work  one’s  way  through,  in  whole 
or  in  part,  the  opportunities  for  doing  so  are  usually  more 
abundant  in  the  better  than  in  the  lower  standard  colleges. 
As  a  rule,  however,  the  student  who  works  his  way  through 
college  appreciates  not  only  the  value  of  money,  but  also  the 
value  of  the  medical  course  he  is  getting,  and  many  such 
students  are  found  in  the  high-grade  medical  colleges.  There 
are  now  over  300  free  scholarships,  as  well  as  generous  loan 
funds,  available  for  deserving  students  in  the  better  medical 
colleges.4 

GET  RELIABLE  INFORMATION 

How  may  the  student  secure  reliable  information  on  these 
matters?  Some  medical  colleges  advertise  extensively  in 
newspapers  and  popular  magazines  and  through  announce¬ 
ments  and  circulars  containing  exaggerated,  if  not  misleading, 

3.  See  Table  2,  insert  in  back  of  this  pamphlet. 

4.  A  list  of  colleges  which  provide  scholarships  and  loan  funds  will 
be  found  on  pages  20  and  21.

statements.  Of  course ,  such  advertisements  do  not  show  the 
more  important  fact  that  their  diplomas  are  reported  as  not 
recognized  in  from  40  to  46  states.  It  is  essential,  therefore, 
that  the  student  should  secure  information  from  impartial 
and  reliable  sources,  so  as  to  make  sure  he  is  not  enticed  into 
a  low-grade  institution.  To  inform  himself  thoroughly,  there¬ 
fore,  he  should  not  depend  alone  on  the  announcements  of  the 
medical  schools.  After  extensive  and  repeated  investigations 
the  medical  schools  of  the  country  have  been  rated  by  the 
Council  in  three  classes,  namely,  A,  B  and  C,  according  to 
their  degree  of  excellence.5  If  the  student  is  otherwise  in 
doubt,  he  will  not  make  a  mistake  by  choosing  one  of  the 
colleges  in  Class  A.  By  so  doing  he  will  not  only  obtain  a 
better  training  in  medicine  but  also,  after  graduation,  will  be 
eligible  to  secure  a  license  in  any  state  he  may  choose. 

A  STRONG  AND  SURE  FOUNDATION 

In  his  preliminary  and  medical  education  the  student 
should  bear  in  mind  that  he  is  laying  the  foundation  for  the 
rest  of  his  life.  If  he  finds  that  additional  preliminary  edu¬ 
cation  is  needed  to  enter  one  of  the  better  medical  colleges,  he 
should  consider  the  time  well  spent,  since  he  is  all  the  more 
sure  of  having  laid  a  solid  foundation.  Although  all  profes¬ 
sions  in  this  country  are  crowded,  there  is  always  room  for 
the  thoroughly  competent.  On  the  other  hand,  the  student  will 
be  disappointed  if,  because  of  lower  entrance  requirements 
or  other  allurements,  he  is  induced  to  get  his  training  in  a 
poorly  equipped  college  and  finds  after  graduation  that  his 
diploma  is  not  recognized  in  many  states,  and  that  otherwise 
he  is  handicapped  for  life. 

AVOID  CULTS  AND  FADS 

Among  the  worst  pitfalls  confronting  the  present  day  stu¬ 
dent  is  the  number  of  institutions  representing  various  unsci¬ 
entific,  or  pseudo-scientific  cults,  such  as  osteopathy,  chiro¬ 
practic,  etc.,  which  profess  to  train  those  who  desire  to  treat 
human  ailments.6  Medical  knowledge  is  now  based  on  scien 
tific  facts  and  there  is  no  longer  room  for  the  differences  of 
opinion  which  in  earlier  days  were  justifiable.  Our  medicrd 
schools  are  now  the  medical  departments  of  universities  of 
long  established  reputation — the  best  evidence  that  medicine 
as  taught  in  medical  schools  is  recognized  as  reliable.  The 
theories  advanced  by  osteopaths,  chiropractors  and  other 
unscientific  fads,  however,  have  received  no  such  endorse¬ 
ments  and  there  is  no  acceptable  proof  of  their  having  a 
reliable  foundation.  No  one  can  afford  to  confine  his  train¬ 
ing  to  the  narrow  theories  held  by  any  cult  but  should  obtain

called  “drugless”  cults,  will  be  furnished  on  application.

a  thorough,  all-around  scientific  training  by  which  he  will 
be  prepared  to  care  intelligently  for  any  form  of  human  ail¬ 
ment  or  disorder  which  presents  itself  and  to  apply  skillfully 
any  form  of  treatment  which  each  particular  patient  may 
require.  One  must  have  a  thorough  training  in  all  the  funda¬ 
mentals  of  medicine  before  he  can  intelligently  employ  any 
particular  method  of  treatment,  even  as  the  member  of  an 
orchestra  must  have  a  thorough  training  in  all  the  fundamen¬ 
tals  of  music  before  he  can  play  any  particular  instrument  in 
that  orchestra.  One  must  first  become  a  good  general  prac¬ 
titioner  of  medicine;  then  if  he  wishes  to  specialize  along  any 
particular  line  he  will  naturally  secure  further  training  for 
such  specialty. 

ESSENTIALS  OF  AN  ACCEPTABLE 
MEDICAL  COLLEGE 

1.  The  minimum  requirement  for  admission  to  an  accepta¬ 
ble  medical  college  is  a  four-year  high  school  education  or  its 
full  equivalent  and  two  years  of  work  in  a  college  of  arts 
and  sciences  approved  by  the  Council  on  Medical  Education 
and  Hospitals,  as  follows: 

I.  High  School  Requirements 

(a)  For  admission  to  the  two-year  premedical  college 
course,  students  shall  have  completed  a  four-year  course  of 
at  least  fifteen  units  in  a  standard  accredited  high  school  or 
other  institution  of  standard  secondary  school  grade,  or  have 
the  equivalent  as  demonstrated  by  examinations  conducted  by 
the  College  Entrance  Examination  Board,  or  by  the  authorized 
examiner  of  a  standard  college  or  university  approved  by 
the  Council  on  Medical  Education  and  Hospitals.  A  detailed 
statement  of  attendance  at  the  secondary  school,  and  a 
transcript  of  the  student’s  work,  should  be  kept  on  file  by  the 
college  authorities.  This  evidence  of  actual  attendance  at  the 
secondary  schools  should  be  obtained,  no  matter  whether  the 
student  is  admitted  to  the  freshman  or  to  higher  classes. 

( b )  Credits  for  admission  to  the  premedical  college  course 
may  be  granted  for  the  subjects  shown  in  the  following  list 
and  for  any  other  subject  counted  by  a  standard  accredited 
high  school  as  a  part  of  the  requirements  for  its  diploma, 
provided  that  at  least  eleven  units  must  be  offered  in

*  A  unit  is  the  credit  value  of  at  least  thirty-six  weeks’  work  of  four 
or  five  recitation  periods  per  week,  each  recitation  period  to  be  not  less 
than  forty  minutes.  In  other  words  a  unit  represents  a  year’s  study  in 
any  subject  in  a  secondary  school  constituting  approximately  a  quarter 
of  a  full  year’s  work.  A  satisfactory  year’s  work  in  any  subject  cannot 
be  accomplished  under  ordinary  circumstances  in  less  than  120  sixty- 
minute  hours,  or  their  equivalent. 

f  Both  of  the  required  units  of  foreign  language  must  be  of  the 
same  language,  but  the  two  units  may  be  presented  in  any  one  of  the 
languages  specified. 

Of  the  fifteen  units  of  high  school  work,  eight  units  are  required,  as 
indicated  in  the  foregoing  schedule;  the  balance  may  be  made  up  from 
any  of  the  other  subjects  in  the  schedule. 

II.  Premedical  College  Course 

(c)  The  minimu'm  requirement  for  admission  to  acceptable 
medical  schools,  in  addition  to  the  high  school  work  specified 
above,  will  be  sixty  semester  hours  of  collegiate  work,  extend¬ 
ing  through  two  years,  of  thirty-two  weeks  each,  exclusive  of 
holidays,  in  a  college  approved  by  the  Council  on  Medical 
Education  and  Hospitals.  The  subjects  included  in  the  two 
years  of  college  work  should  be  in  accordance  with  the  fol¬ 
lowing  schedule :

Other  Suggested  Electives: 

English  (additional),  economics,  history,  sociology,  political 
science,  logic,  mathematics,  Latin,  Greek,  drawing. 

*  A  semester  hour  is  the  credit  value  of  sixteen  weeks’  work  con¬ 
sisting  of  one  lecture  or  recitation  period  per  week,  each  period  to  be 
not  less  than  fifty  minutes  net,  at  least  two  hours  of  laboratory  work  to 
be  considered  as  the  equivalent  of  one  lecture  or  recitation  period. 

SUGGESTIONS  REGARDING  INDIVIDUAL  SUBJECTS 

(a)  Chemistry. — Twelve  semester  hours  required  of  which 
at  least  eight  semester  hours  must  be  in  general  inorganic 
chemistry,  including  four  semester  hours  of  laboratory  work 
and  four  semester  hours  of  organic  chemistry  including  two 
semester  hours  of  laboratory  work. 

( b )  Physics. — Eight  semester  hours  required,  of  which  at 
least  two  must  be  laboratory  work.  It  is  urged  that  this 
course  be  preceded  by  a  course  in  trigonometry. 

(c)  Biology. — Eight  semester  hours  required,  of  which  four 
must  consist  of  laboratory  work.  This  requirement  may  be 
satisfied  by  a  course  of  eight  semester  hours  in  either  gen¬ 
eral  biology  or  zoology,  or  by  courses  of  four  semester  hours 
each  in  zoology  and  botany,  but  not  by  botany  alone. 

(d)  English  Composition  and  Literature. — The  usual  intro¬ 
ductory  college  course  of  six  semester  hours,  or  its  equivalent, 
is  required. 

( e )  Nonscience  Subjects.  —  Of  the  sixty  semester  hours 
required  as  the  measurement  of  two  years  of  college  work, 
at  least  eighteen,  including  the  six  semester  hours  of  English, 
should  be  in  subjects  other  than  the  physical,  chemical  or 
biologic  sciences. 

(/)  Foreign  Language. — A  reading  knowledge  of  a  modern 
foreign  language  is  strongly  urged.  French  and  German 
have  the  closest  bearing  on  modern  medical  literature.  If 
the  reading  knowledge  in  one  of  these  languages  is  obtained 
on  the  basis  of  high  school  work,  the  student  is  urged  to 
take  the  other  language  in  his  college  course.  It  is  not  con¬ 
sidered  advisable,  however,  to  spend  more  than  twelve  of  the 
required  sixty  semester  hours  on  foreign  languages. 

Recognition. — This  two-year  premedical  course  in  both 
quantity  and  quality  must  be  such  as  to  make  it  acceptable  as 
the  equivalent  of  the  first  two  years  of  the  course  in  reputable, 
approved  colleges  of  arts  and  sciences  leading  to  the  degree 
of  Bachelor  of  Science.

APPROVED  COLLEGES  OF  ARTS  AND  SCIENCES 

A  tentative  list  of  colleges  of  arts  and  sciences  approved  by 
the  Council  on  Medical  Education  and  Hospitals  has  been 
prepared,  and  will  be  occasionally  revised.  By  an  approved 
college  (of  arts  and  sciences)  is  meant  one  whose  standing 
has  been  vouched  for  by  some  standardizing  agency  in  whose 
methods  the  Council  has  confidence. 

PREMEDICAL  COURSES  IN  MEDICAL  COLLEGES — 

JUNIOR  COLLEGES 

Premedical  college  courses  given  in  or  by  medical  schools, 
by  normal  schools,  or  advance  years  taken  in  high  schools,  will 
not  be  considered  as  acceptable  unless  they  have  been  investi¬ 
gated  and  approved  by  some  association  of  colleges  and  sec¬ 
ondary  schools  or  other  approved  agency  having  to  do  with 
the  standardizing  of  liberal  arts  colleges,  and  unless  they  are 
found  to  be  a  full  equivalent  of  the  first  two  years  of  the 
course  leading  to  the  Bachelor  of  Science  degree. 

III.  The  Medical  School 

ADMINISTRATION  OF  ENTRANCE  REQUIREMENTS 

2.  The  admission  of  students  to  the  medical  school  must  be 
in  the  hands  of  a  responsible  committee  or  examiner  whose 
records  shall  always  be  open  for  inspection.  Documentary 
evidence  of  the  student’s  preliminary  education  should  be 
obtained  and  kept  on  file.  When  the  medical  school  is  an 
integral  part  of  the  university,  this  work  usually  devolves  on 
the  university  examiner.  Unless  the  university  examiner  and 
his  records  are  closely  accessible,  however,  some  officer  at  the 
medical  school  should  obtain  and  keep  on  file  documentary 
evidence  of  each  student’s  preliminary  education,  including 
both  high  school  and  collegiate  work.  The  records  should 
show  especially  that  the  required  amount  of  work  in  the 
premedical  sciences,  including  laboratory  experiments,  has 
been  completed. 

OTHER  MEDICAL  SCHOOL  REQUIREMENTS 

3.  The  college  should  require  that  students  be  in  actual 
attendance  in  the  college  within  the  first  week  of  each  annual 
session  and  thereafter. 

4.  Actual  attendance  at  classes  should  be  insisted  on  except 
for  good  cause,  such  as  for  sickness,  and  no  credit  should 
be  given  for  any  course  where  the  attendance  has  been  less 
than  80  per  cent,  of  the  full  time. 

5.  (a)  Full  advanced  standing  may  be  granted  to  students 
only  for  work  done  in  other  acceptable  medical  schools,  and  in 
granting  advanced  standing  there  should  be  no  discrimina¬ 
tion  against  the  college’s  full-course  students.  Official  veri¬ 
fication  of  the  student’s  previous  medical  work  should  be 


8 


obtained  by  direct  correspondence  with  the  college  previously 
attended,  and  his  preliminary  qualifications  should  also  be 
verified  and  recorded  the  same  as  for  freshman  students. 
( b )  In  exceptional  cases  students  who  possess  the  required 
premedical  qualifications  and  who  have  completed  three  or 
more  years  of  work  in  Class  B  medical  schools  may  be  given 
advanced  standing  but  not  higher  than  entrance  to  the  third 
year  (junior)  class,  and  no  credit  should  be  given  in  any 
subject  except  on  recommendation  of  the  head  of  the  depart¬ 
ment  teaching  that  subject,  (c)  In  exceptional  cases  also 
students  who  possess  the  required  premedical  qualifications 
and  who  have  completed  three  or  more  years  of  work  in 
Class  C  colleges  may  be  given  advanced  standing  but  not 
higher  than  entrance  to  the  second  year  (sophomore)  class, 
and  then  only  after  thorough  examinations  in  all  first  year 
subjects  have  been  passed. 

SUPERVISION,  EQUIPMENT,  TEACHERS 

6.  There  should  be  careful  and  intelligent  supervision  of  the 
entire  school  by  the  dean  or  other  executive  officer  who  holds, 
and  has  sufficient  authority  to  carry  out  fair  ideals  of  med¬ 
ical  education  as  determined  by  the  present  day  knowledge 
of  medicine. 

7.  There  should  be  a  good  system  of  records  showing  con¬ 
veniently  and  in  detail  the  credentials,  attendance,  grades 
and  accounts  of  the  students,  by  means  of  which  an  exact 
knowledge  can  be  obtained  regarding  each  student’s  work. 
Records  should  also  be  kept  showing  readily  the  attendance 
of  patients  at  the  teaching  hospitals  and  dispensaries ;  the 
maternity  cases  attended  by  students,  and  the  postmortem 
cases  used  in  teaching. 

8.  The  college  curriculum  should  be  fully  graded  and  should 
cover  four  sessions  of  at  least  thirty-two  weeks  each,  exclu¬ 
sive  of  time  required  for  matriculation  and  holidays,  and  at 
least  thirty  hours  per  week  of  actual  work.  The  courses 
offered  in  the  various  subjects  should  be  set  forth  by  depart¬ 
ments  (anatomjq  physiology,  etc.)  in  the  annual  announce¬ 
ment,  showing  for  each  course  its  number,  subject,  content, 
character  (lecture,  recitation,  laboratory  or  clinic),  length  of 
time,  when,  where,  and  by  whom  given,  and  the  amount  of 
credit  allowed.  The  courses  for  each  class  should  also  be 
clearly  set  forth  in  a  printed  class  schedule,  for  the  guidance 
of  the  students. 

(a)  The  college  should  give  two  years  of  work  consisting 
largely  of  laboratory  work  in  well  equipped  laboratories  of 
anatomy,  histology,  embryology,  physiology,  physiologic  chem¬ 
istry,  bacteriology,  pathology,  pharmacology,  therapeutics  and 
clinical  diagnosis.  Present-day  medical  knowledge  makes  it 
essential  that  these  subjects  be  in  charge  of  full-time,  well- 
trained  teachers. 


9 


( b )  Two  years  of  clinical  work,  largely  in  hospitals  and 
dispensaries,  with  courses  in  medicine  (including  physical 
diagnosis,  pediatrics,  nervous  and  mental  diseases),  surgery 
(including  surgical  anatomy  and  operative  surgery  on  the 
cadaver),  obstetrics,  gynecology,  laryngology,  rhinology,  oph¬ 
thalmology,  otology,  dermatology,  hygiene  and  medical  juris¬ 
prudence.  With  the  higher  entrance  requirements  time  is 
now  available  in  the  latter  part  of  the  second  year  for 
beginning  courses  in  physical  diagnosis  and  the  principles  of 
surgery. 

( c )  As  soon  as  conditions  warrant,  relations  should  be 
established  with  a  number  of  approved  hospitals  so  that  a 
fifth  undergraduate  year  may  be  required  to  be  spent  by  the 
student  as  an  intern  under  the  continued  supervision  of  the 
medical  school. 

FACULTY 

9.  (a)  The  college  should  provide  at  least  eight  expert  thor¬ 
oughly  trained  professors  in  the  laboratory  branches ,  salaried 
so  that  they  may  devote  their  entire  time  to  instruction  and 
to  that  research  without  which  they  cannot  well  keep  up  with 
the  rapid  progress  being  made  in  their  subjects.7  For  colleges 
having  sixty  students  or  less  in  each  class,  there  should  be 
at  least  one  full-time  salaried  assistant  each  in  the  depart¬ 
ments  of  (1)  anatomy,  (2)  physiology,  (3)  pathology  and  bac¬ 
teriology,  and  (4)  physiologic  chemistry  and  pharmacology. 
There  should  be  also  one  additional  assistant  provided  in  each 
of  these  departments  for  each  additional  thirty  students 
enrolled.  This  represents  a  low  average  of  the  full-time 
assistants  already  employed  by  the  acceptable  medical  colleges. 

(b)  The  faculty  should  be  made  up  of  graduates  of  institu¬ 
tions  recognized  as  medical  colleges  and  who  have  had  a  train¬ 
ing  in  all  departments  of  medicine.  Nonmedical  men  should 
be  selected  as  teachers  in  medical  schools  only  under  excep¬ 
tional  circumstances  and  only  when  medical  men  of  equal 
special  capacity  are  not  available.  The  faculty  should  be 
organized,  each  department  having  its  head  professor,  its 
associate  professor,  assistant  professor,  instructor,  etc.,  each 
having  his  particular  subjects  for  the  teaching  of  which  he  is 
responsible  to  the  head  of  the  department. 

CLINICAL  FACILITIES  AND  INSTRUCTION 

10.  (a)  The  college  should  own  or  entirely  control  a  hospital 
in  order  that  students  may  come  into  close  and  extended 


7.  These  professors  should  have  a  definite  responsibility  in  the  con¬ 
duct  of  the  college,  and  their  first  and  chief  interest  should  be  the  train¬ 
ing  of  medical  students.  It  is  suggested  that  four  of  these  professors  be 
placed  at  the  head  of  the  departments  of  (a)  anatomy,  ( b )  physiology 
and  physiologic  chemistry,  (c)  pathology  and  bacteriology,  and  ( d )  phar¬ 
macology  and  therapeutics.  The  other  four  might  with  advantage  be 
assigned,  one  each,  to  (e)  histology  and  embryology,  under  the  depart¬ 
ment  of  anatomy,  and  to  the  department  of  (/)  pathology  and  bac¬ 
teriology,  and  (ff)  physiology  and  pharmacology,  and  to  the  departments 
of  (h)  either  internal  medicine  or  surgery. 


10 


contact  with  patients  under  the  supervision  of  the  attending 
staff.  This  hospital  should  be  in  close  proximity  to  the  col¬ 
lege  and  have  a  daily  average  (for  senior  classes  of  100  stu¬ 
dents  or  less )  of  not  less  than  200  patients  who  can  be  utilized 
for  clinical  teaching,  these  patients  to  be  of  such  character  as 
to  permit  the  students  to  see  and  study  the  common  variety 
of  surgical  and  medical  cases  as  well  as  a  fair  number  in  each 
of  the  so-called  specialties.  In  the  use  of  this  material  bed¬ 
side  and  ward  clinics  should  be  developed  for  sections  of 
from  five  to  ten  students,  and  for  the  seniors,  a  certain  num¬ 
ber  of  patients  in  medicine,  surgery  and  the  specialties  should 
be  assigned  to  each  student  under  a  well  supervised  clinical 
clerk  system.  The  treatment  and  care  of  these  patients  should 
be  particularly  observed  and  recorded  by  the  student  under 
the  strict  supervision  of  the  intern,  or  the  attending  staff  of 
the  hospital. 

( b )  The  college  should  also  have  ample  hospital  facilities 
for  children’s  diseases,  contagious  diseases  and  nervous  and 
mental  diseases. 

( c )  The  college  should  own  or  control  a  dispensary,  or  out¬ 
patient  department,  the  attendance  to  be  a  daily  average  of 
100  patients  (visits)  (for  senior  classes  of  100  students  or 
less),  the  patients  to  be  carefully  classified,  good  histories  and 
records  of  the  patients  to  be  kept  and  the  material  to  be  well 
used.  The  attending  staff  should  be  made  up  of  good  teach¬ 
ers,  should  be  well  organized  and  be  prompt  and  regular  in 
attendance. 

( d )  At  least  six  maternity  cases  should  be  provided  for 
each  senior  student,  who  should  have  actual  charge  of  these 
cases  under  the  supervision  of  the  attending  physician.  Care¬ 
ful  records  of  each  case  should  be  handed  in  by  the  student. 

(e)  Facilities  should  be  provided  for  at  least  thirty  necrop¬ 
sies  (for  senior  classes  of  100  students  or  less)  during  each 
college  session  which  are  attended  and  participated  in  by 
senior  students.  These,  as  a  rule,  should  be  in  the  teaching 
hospital  controlled  by  the  medical  school  and  performed  by 
the  professor  of  pathology.  The  so-called  clinical-pathologic 
conferences  should  be  more  widely  developed  in  connection 
with  the  postmortems. 

OTHER  TEACHING  FACILITIES  AND  FINANCES 

11.  The  college  should  have  a  working  medical  library,  to 
include  the  more  modern  text  and  reference  books  with  the 
Index  Medicus,  the  Surgeon-General’s  Index  and  other  ser¬ 
viceable  indexes.  The  library  should  receive  regularly  thirty 
or  more  leading  medical  periodicals,  the  current  numbers  of 
which  should  be  in  racks  or  on  tables  easily  accessible  to  the 
students.  At  the  end  of  each  year  these  periodicals  should 
be  bound  and  added  to  the  files  of  bound  periodicals.  The 
library  room  should  be  properly  lighted  and  heated,  and  open 


11 


during  all  or  the  greater  part  of  the  day;  it  should  be  equipped 
with  suitable  card  indexes  as  well  as  with  tables  and  chairs, 
and  have  a  competent  librarian  in  charge. 

12.  There  should  be  a  working  medical  museum  having  its 
various  anatomic,  embryologic,  pathologic  and  other  specimens 
carefully  prepared,  labeled  and  indexed  so  that  any  specimen 
may  be  easily  found  and  employed  for  teaching  purposes.  It 
is  suggested  that  so  far  as  possible  with  each  pathologic  speci¬ 
men  coming  from  postmortems  there  also  be  kept  the  record 
of  the  postmortem,  the  clinical  history  of  the  patient  on 
whom  the  necropsy  was  held  and  microscopic  slides  showing 
the  minute  structures  of  the  disease  shown  in  the  gross  speci¬ 
men.  The  museum  furnishes  an  excellent  means  of  corre¬ 
lating  the  work  of  the  department  of  pathology  with  that  of 
the  clinical  departments. 

13.  There  should  be  sufficient  dissecting  material  to  enable 
each  student  individually  to  dissect  at  least  the  lateral  half 
of  the  human  cadaver,  to  provide  cross-sections  and  other 
demonstration  material  and  to  allow  of  a  thorough  course 
for  each  senior  in  operative  surgery  on  the  cadaver. 

14.  For  modern  experimental  laboratory  work  in  physiol¬ 
ogy,  pharmacology  and  bacteriology  as  well  as  for  medical 
research,  a  supply  of  animals — frogs,  turtles,  rabbits  and 
guinea-pigs,  if  not  also  cats  and  dogs — is  essential.  Proper 
provision,  also,  is  necessary  for  the  housing  and  care  of  such 
animals.  In  any  use  made  of  animals  every  precaution 
should  be  taken  to  prevent  needless  suffering,  and  work  by 
students  should  be  carefully  supervised. 

15.  Each  college  should  have  a  supply  of  such  useful  auxil¬ 
iary  apparatus  as  a  stereopticon,  a  reflectoscope,  carefully 
prepared  charts,  embryologic  or  other  models,  manikins ; 
dummies  for  use  in  bandaging,  a  roentgen-ray  and  other 
apparatus  now  so  generally  used  in  medical  teaching. 

16.  The  college  should  show  evidences  of  thorough  organi¬ 
zation  and  of  reasonably  modern  methods  in  all  departments, 
and  evidences  that  the  equipment  and  facilities  are  being 
intelligently  used  in  the  training  of  medical  students. 

17.  A  clear  statement  of  the  college’s  requirements  for 
admission,  tuition,  time  of  attendance  on  the  classes,  sessions, 
courses  offered  and  graduation  should  be  clearly  set  forth, 
together  with  complete  classified  lists  of  its  matriculants  and 
latest  graduating  class  in  regular  annual  catalogues  or 
announcements. 

18.  Statistics  show  8  that  modern  medicine  cannot  be  accept¬ 
ably  taught  by  a  medical  school  depending  solely  on  the 
income  from  students’  fees.  No  medical  school  should  expect 
to  secure  admission  to,  or  be  retained  in  Qass  A,  therefore, 
which  does  not  have  an  annual  income  of  at  least  $25,000  in 
addition  to  the  amount  obtained  from  students’  fees.

those  which,  under  their  present  organization,  give  promise 
of  being  made  acceptable  by  general  improvements,  and  Class 
C  those 

(a)  Which  require  a  complete  reorganization  to  make 
them  acceptable. 

( b )  Which  do  not  keep  satisfactory  records  of  their  stu¬ 
dents  in  regard  to  entrance  requirements,  attendance,  grades 
in  courses,  division  into  classes  and  reasons  for  promotion.

In  1920  this  medical  school  was  moved  from  Mobile  to  the  campus  of 
the  University  in  Tuscaloosa  where  it  is  being  reorganized  as  a  two- 
year  medical  school.  For  the  season  of  1920-21  it  enrolled  only  first 
year  medical  students  for  whom  ample  teachers,  laboratories  and  equip¬ 
ment  were  provided.  In  the  session  for  1921-22  it  is  announced  that 
both  first-year  and  second-year  students  will  be  enrolled.  The  rating  of 
the  school  is  withheld  until  an  inspection  shall  show  that  full  provision 
for  these  two  classes  has  been  made.

It  is  reported  as  not  recognized  by  the  licensing  boards  of  forty  states, 
including  its  home  state — Missouri.
